Datumate Announces DatuBIM - A Field Data Analytics Cloud Platform Designed for Construction Infrastructure Projects

Datumate just announced the launch of DatuBIM, a unique field data analytics and BIM cloud services platform that transforms the labor intensive and slow field data delivery in traditional construction processes into an end-to-end, unified solution. DatuBIM platform includes BIM planning and as-built monitoring and analytics that eliminate cost overruns and save months of delays in projects' execution. 

BIM solutions are being adopted globally to enable greater management and control of construction infrastructure projects. However, to effectively measure planned vs. actual progress, identify the cause of project delays, and pinpoint project deliverable risks, BIM solutions require continuous and accurate as-built field data and analytics.  

DatuBIM integrates state-of-the-art drone, computer vision, and photogrammetry technologies to fully automate field-to-plan processes and deliver comprehensive, as-built field data and analytics for construction companies' stakeholders on a daily basis, via:

 

  • Drone-based data collection and mapping
  • Ongoing, as-built processing, modeling, and storage
  • As-built instances comparisons vs. BIM design plans and project schedules
  • Tracking of budgeted vs. actual costs
  • Real-time generation and monitoring of non-compliance (QA) reports
  • Progress and data analytics

DatuBIM's vectorized measurements, CAD outputs, dashboards, reports, alerts and accurate forecasts help construction managers make on-time, informed decisions during planning and project execution.

DatuBIM cloud platform enables continuous access to survey grade, precise, stored field data and analyticsto efficiently monitor project progress. DatuBIM cloud services enable image upload, model processing and output download, including 2D maps, 3D models, analytics, and reports that help make data driven decisions and keep the project on track.

"Datumate is set to increase automation, digitalization, and efficiency of field-to-plan processes in the construction industry," said Datumate's CEO, Tal Meirzon. "Managerial field data and analytics – delivered continuously as a service – empower greater management and control of construction infrastructure projects."

DatuBIM solution was chosen by Deutsche Bahn for one of its infrastructure construction projects, as part of Deutsche Bahn's mindbox digitalization program. Moreover, DatuBIM pilots have been already implemented in several ongoing infrastructure construction projects.

Surf Solutions launches SurfSight surveillance solution

On Sept. 20, Surf Solutions announced the official launch of its new SurfSight product line. SurfSight is a smart and robust surveillance solution with cyber security capabilities, that can gather and consolidate video from multiple sources in real time. 

SurfSight connects remote sites and moving vehicles with the video surveillance network and provides secure distribution and access capabilities for ad-hoc viewers- on any device and on any network.

“One of the challenges of surveillance networks is the ability to reach a large number of remote cameras in real time, while reliably processing video feeds under unstable networks conditions or in limited bandwidth environments”, explains Niv Kagan, VP of Products at Surf. “Most surveillance networks are closed systems that allow transfer of video feeds only between a limited number of pre-defined users and cameras. These systems can’t offer secure access, video sharing and viewing capabilities to ad-hoc users at any location, and this limits their ability to inform multiple parties of situations as they occur in real time.”

SurfSight addresses the growing surveillance market by extending the reach of video surveillance from cameras to mobile devices.

The SurfSight solution is comprised of two main products which may operate independently or together: SurfSight Edge and SurfSight Core.

SurfSight Edge gathers and consolidates a large number of video feeds from remote sites over limited network bandwidths, while adjusting the video stream to changing network conditions. This ensures optimal transmission quality in real time (<200 ms latency) while achieving up to a 90% reduction in bandwidth usage.

In addition, SurfSight Edge features computer vision capabilities that allow for event based detection, including pre-defined face and motion alert parameters- for intelligent recording and streaming.

SurfSight Core allows secure distribution of multiple video feeds to remote destinations in real time, without exposing access to the surveillance network. It also allows remote viewers to view and contribute real-time video to the network securely from any mobile device.

Together, the SurfSight product line allows stakeholders to achieve total situational awareness and effectively take action if and when needed.
